The Rock Valley Conference is a high school athletic conference in Wisconsin, originally formed as the Central Suburban Conference in 1969. All member schools belong to the Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association and are concentrated in the Rock River Valley in south central Wisconsin.

History

Central Suburban Conference (1969-1977)

The Central Suburban Conference was the predecessor to the current Rock Valley Conference, and it was formed in 1969 in the aftermath of the Madison Suburban Conference dissolution. Its original membership consisted of four members of the old Central Section (Evansville, Lake Mills, Milton and Oregon) along with newcomers Clinton (from the Indian Trails Conference) and Turner (from the IHSA's SHARK Conference). Columbus and Parkview joined the following season from the Little Ten Conference and State Line League, respectively. The Central Suburban Conference maintained this membership roster for the rest of its eight-year history.

Transformation into Rock Valley Conference (1977-2008)

In 1977, Columbus and Lake Mills left to join the Capitol Conference and Oregon left to join the Badger Conference. They were replaced two schools from the Badger Conference (Jefferson and Milton) and one from the State Line League (Brodhead). That same year, the Central Suburban Conference became the Rock Valley Conference due to its change in geographic footprint. In 1982, Jefferson and Milton both left the Rock Valley to join the Southern Lakes Conference and were replaced by Beloit Catholic (independent) and Big Foot (formerly of the Southern Lakes). Palmyra-Eagle joined the conference in 1990 to bring membership up to nine schools. Beloit Catholic left to join the Indian Trails Conference in 1996 for its last few years before it closed in 2000.

Present Day (2008-present)

Membership remained unchanged until 2008 when the conference added four schools. Jefferson made its return from the Southern Lakes Conference, and three newcomers were welcomed into the conference: two from the Southern Lakes (East Troy and Whitewater) and one from the Badger Conference (McFarland)
